Yeah, you have a point:

   IF you could stand still, you would see light from behind as
   blue-shifted, precisely the flip side of gravitational redshifting
   for distant observers. However, if you were traveling on a free-fall
   geodesic, you would see no blueshift from light directly behind,
   because you and it would be in the same inertial reference frame.
